Let's Unmask The AI Agents Scam

The cosmic horror of GPU shopping in 2024! Our hero tries to negotiate for a graphics card, but the seller (standing in for Galactus, devourer of worlds... and wallets) has demands that strike fear into the hearts of budget-conscious developers everywhere: 12GB Budget GPUs. The punchline hits harder than a memory leak in production—there's nothing "budget" about these cards anymore! What used to cost a reasonable sum now requires sacrificing your firstborn and possibly a kidney. The shocked faces in the audience perfectly capture every developer trying to build a decent machine for ML training without selling vital organs.

Ah yes, the classic "medicine bottle labeled as ChatGPT" with a terrified new programmer staring at it. Remember when we had to actually learn how to code? Now junior devs just ask ChatGPT "write me a React component that fetches data and handles errors" and boom—instant senior developer! Back in my day, we debugged with print statements and cried ourselves to sleep reading documentation. The future is here, and it's making all those hours I spent memorizing syntax feel like a complete waste of time.

Well, well, well... turns out programmers aren't just spending their nights debugging code! This meme reveals the shocking economics of educational content on different platforms - with Pornhub paying nearly 3x more per million views than YouTube. No wonder so many devs are "researching neural networks" at 2 AM! The real algorithm everyone's trying to crack is how to explain technical concepts while keeping viewers' hands... on their keyboards. Clearly, the path to monetization is understanding your audience's... um... "engagement metrics." 😏

The inevitable hipster-ification of web development has arrived. Just like artisanal coffee shops charging $9 for "hand-poured" water, we'll soon have developers selling "organic, handwritten, non-AI websites" at premium prices. Next they'll be telling us their HTML is free-range and their CSS was harvested during a full moon. Can't wait for the "small-batch, locally-sourced JavaScript" trend to hit.

When you ask a shopping assistant for coding help and it actually delivers! Rufus here is like that one Stack Overflow answer that doesn't start with "Why would you even want to do that?" The absolute madlad is out here dropping React tutorials in the Super Glue section. Sure, it warned us it "may not always get things right," but then proceeds to nail a perfect React component tutorial complete with code snippets. Meanwhile, my team's senior devs ghost me for three days when I ask how to center a div.

The corporate tech layoff saga continues! First, companies dump their engineers because "AI will save us money!" Then reality hits them like a production outage at 3 AM with no one to fix it. Sure, AI can write some code, but who's gonna explain to it why the client needs that button to be "more blue, but not too blue" or debug that legacy codebase written by some guy who left in 2011 and took all documentation with him? The best part? After burning millions on AI tools, they'll quietly start rehiring the same engineers at higher rates as "AI implementation specialists." Classic corporate self-sabotage at its finest!
